So I recently put together a system downstairs in my living room. I have a Krell-300i amp connected to Totem Hawks. I love my system and its perfectly what I was looking for. I have my TV connected to the Krell via analog out so I can watch my shows in more full sound.   I also had my TV...

So for the past few days I've been breaking in my new headphones on my desk looking forward to using them as they sound awesome every time I've put them on so far. However, before I got my headphones delivered but knew they were ordered, I ordered the new ear pads from J-Money. I had only read...

Since Im going to be using these mostly out of my computer or iPod, I bought a 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter because the headphones only come with the larger plug attached. However, when I use the adapter Im only getting sound out of the left headphone speaker. Whats wrong?

Ok, I started with many IEM's until I settled on the SE530 which I love. Then I started on cans where I got the SRH840, then the Senn HD 25-1 and now have the Beyer T50p's arriving on Tuesday(all within a span of 6 months). I'm looking for the best portable closed headphone out there. Should I...

Preface: So I had always used IEM's because of portability and that I always thought they sounded the best. Recently Ive been traveling more so I was looking into getting better fidelity while still retaining the portable aspect. I had bought the Shure SRH840's back in October on a great deal so...

I currently have SE530's with custom tips and SRH840 headphones. I will only be running whatever I get out of an ipod classic(or with the addition of a portable amp). I love love love the sound of the SE530's and they are everything I'm looking for. However, they are annoying to take in and out...

I tried searching but couldnt find this topic anywhere. Yes, theres tons of break in procedures and time and stuff but not this. Is there a certain volume I should leave headphones playing for so they break in correctly? I just ordered up a set of se530's and more than likely wont have the...

So I was getting some custom plugs made for when I'm riding a motorcycle and figured at the same time, why not get custom tips made for my Shures. Well, they both came in today and I was less than enthused. First off, the tips were made by Westone. The tips for wearing under the helmet fit...

I wont be storing video or pictures. I do however want the best audio quality and storage space. UI is a very close second. I was looking at the Clix2/D2 but for $249 and 80gb how can you beat the Zune?

Hey all, Wasnt sure where to post this. Currently Im using my MP3 player hooked up to some cheapie speakers. The problem is my cubicle location. I can only get one radio station and its not one I care for unless you like hearing the same songs over and over every hour. Im looking for the...

Very upset right now as my Iaudio x5 broke yesterday. The headphone jack had been a bit wonky so I took the unit apart. Just as I had assumed, a couple connections came loose. I busted out the magnifier and resoldered the piece back together. Worked perfectly but when I put it back together, the...

Ok, after about 2 weeks of trying the UM2's the only word I can use to describe them is 'Harsh'. For some reason, which I noticed after everytime of wearing, I now have a continuous ringing in my ears. This would normally be called Tinnitus. I am not a loud listener (12 was the highest setting...

I was sick and tired of reading all the reviews of these headphones being used with Apple products. They sound is not comparable to that which comes out of the Cowan or Iriver products. We need more X5 users to speak up on their findings or opinions. Anyway, Ive had E3's for over a year when...

I can definitely say there is a break-in period with these headphones. The details in my music that Im hearing now is like listening all over again. I have the eq on my x5 set perfectly(for me) for any type of music. From Manson, to techno, to Tori Amos, to Madeski Martin and Wood, I hear such a...

OK, this is really weird for me. Ive had my E4's for over a month now and for some reason, they keep sliding back out of my ear canal. I bought these to replace my E3's which I had used for over a year. Never had any problems with them, and they actually felt like they went in further. They...

You know that little rubber piece that fits into the slit that the charging pack fits into? Has anyone lost theirs yet? I like using this when Im not using the pack so I can keep it clean, almost in a paranoid way. None of my other electronic stuff has covers or protectors for things like that...

I may be opening a can of worms here so Im getting my flame suit on. Why do you guys have more than one set of headphones? Especially more than 3? You can only listen to one set at a time. Do you switch between CD's of different material? By no means am I an audiophile. I never listen...

I dont know if this is the wrong place to ask but I figured it was most applicable. I want to play my MP3 player at my desk at work but not be so loud that other people can hear me. I also dont want to run it line-out to my computer to play through those speakers. I was wondering what people...
